Podcasts You Should Be Listening To - Documentaries

Here’s a list of the excellent nonfiction documentary podcasts I’ve enjoyed listening to:

Cults

Cults explores, well, cults. Each cult is typically covered in two episodes - the first is an in-depth look at the founder, the second covers members and an overall look into the cult’s story.

The Habitat

Six volunteers enter a NASA experiment in an obscure corner of Hawaii. The goal? To spend an entire year in a simulated researcher habitat on Mars. 7 episodes.

Heaven’s Gate

Cults (above) devotes two episodes to the fascinating, bizarre, sad story of the Heaven’s Gate cult. Heaven’s Gate covers it in ten episodes, each roughly 50 minutes long. Packed with interviews, audio recordings of the founders, and more.
